The figures will be 3" vinyl figurines in blind-box format, with character-specific accessories and 4 hidden chase figures to seek out with “one random figure supplied” for the collection. The collection includes from Buffy, Angel, and Giles, to Drusilla, Oz, Xander, Willow, Vamp-Buffy, Faith, Mayor Wilkins and the Master.

(Update to correct a huge typo that was in the description - heir instead of their, so took the chance to add the word figurine, in the extended description, it was really reading weird before)

Weird that vampire Buffy is relevant enough to get one of these whatever-they-are. A brief thing in one episode of season 1 and still apparently more notable than several regular and recurring characters. Tara? Cordelia? Anya? Riley? Dawn? (Okay, Riley and Dawn were maybe not super popular, but still.) Hell, Joyce, Jenny, Harmony, Jonathan, Andrew, Snyder, Clem, Amy, Larry, Quentin Travers, Darla, Caleb, Glory, Kendra, Anne, Ethan, Robin Wood, Kennedy, Willy the Snitch and even the Cheese Man and the Primitive should probably make the list before vampire Buffy, given their impact. But I guess I'm probably just not thinking like a collector. Maybe vampire Buffy has some special status, being a variant on the main character...

I *think* the randomness of the characters and "blind-box format" means you get three at a time, in a box, without knowing who you're getting. So in theory you keep buying until you get the characters you want. It's a big thing in Japan, and from these, and how individual LEGO minifigs are now being sold, it seems to be catching on over here too.
